Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and devices for processing Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) bursts are presented. In one example, a mobile device may acquire a first PRS burst transmitted from a base station through first transmitter antenna port and acquire a second PRS burst transmitted from a base station through a second antenna port. The mobile device may select between the first and second acquired PRS bursts for use in positioning operations such as observed time difference of arrival.
Abstract:
A method of providing Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA) assistance information to a mobile station is disclosed. In some embodiments, the OTDOA assistance information may comprise Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) assistance information including antenna switching assistance information for at least one cell. In one embodiment, the method may be implemented on a location server for the cell.
